FAQs
Is this backpack waterproof?
The product description does not specify that the backpack is waterproof. While the polyester material offers some resistance to light moisture, it is not designed to be fully waterproof. We recommend using a rain cover in heavy rain to protect your belongings.
What size laptop can this backpack hold?
The Herschel Supply Co Classic Backpack features a dedicated padded sleeve designed to securely fit laptops up to 13 or 14 inches.
How do I clean my Herschel Classic Backpack?
Spot clean with a damp cloth and a mild soap. Gently wipe the affected area, then wipe away soap residue with a clean damp cloth. Allow it to air dry completely. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
What is the 'EcoSystem Liner' made of?
The EcoSystem Liner is part of the backpack's sustainable construction, crafted from 100% recycled post-consumer water bottles. This makes the interior lining an eco-friendly component of the design.
Can this backpack be used for travel?
Yes, for light travel or as a personal item for flights. Its 26L capacity is suitable for packing essentials for a day or two, but it may be too small for extended trips requiring a larger wardrobe.
Are replacement Prusik cord pulls available if lost or damaged?
While replacement parts are not typically offered directly, standard cord pulls can often be sourced from outdoor or craft stores as a general replacement. Alternatively, contacting Herschel Supply Co customer service for guidance is recommended. Info needed: [official policy on spare parts]
Troubleshooting
Laptop feels insecure or doesn't fit properly in the sleeve.
Ensure your laptop is 13 or 14 inches or smaller. If it is, verify it's pushed completely into the sleeve. The sleeve is designed to be snug for security; avoid forcing larger devices which can damage the sleeve or your laptop.
Shoulder straps feel uncomfortable or cause back pain.
Adjust both padded shoulder straps evenly. The backpack should sit high on your back, with the weight distributed across your shoulders and upper back. Avoid carrying excessive weight, as the 26L capacity is best suited for daily loads.
Zipper feels stiff or is difficult to close.
Check for any fabric or debris caught in the zipper teeth. If clear, apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (like a wax stick or a pencil graphite) along the teeth. Open and close the zipper a few times to work in the lubricant.

- Drying: Allow the backpack to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage the material and structure.
